Live in Community — Yours, Mine, Ours!

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion is many things — a physical space, a series of programs, a resource for support — but mostly it is where we, the people of USF, come to explore and experience the unifying strength of our differences.

An Invitation from Dr. Paul Porter, New Director of Diversity and Inclusion

Creating an environment that fosters inclusion across campus and supports the academic success, retention, and personal development of a diverse student population is among the highest priorities at USF.

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion embodies that commitment through programs and initiatives designed to educate all members of the community on issues of diversity and social justice, as well as providing a safe enclave for historically underserved students.

Stop by anytime! We welcome you to explore, share, learn, and be challenged!
